    It's right out of the trump playbook with dodge, deflect and distract. Toss in some smugness and there you have the play book.
    Then why don't you answer his question then. :smiley-hmm:

    I suppose I'd answer it like this: If anything/everything being trotted out against Trump leads to his impeachment (being ousted), then so be it. I'll move on accordingly. In the meantime, he's still the President. We could all fight tooth-and-nail in here - or wherever - until the cows come home, and it won't make a blip of difference in the grand scheme of things. Everything becomes, cutesy, smug, and divisive....yet irrelevant. I've already told y'all that I would support Kasich over Trump in a heartbeat. I truly wanted him the be the Republican nominee in 2016. Didn't happen. Therefore, I voted "against" Hillary...and would again. Trump is now the POTUS. I'm not going to defect on him just because of the allegations. Let's see how it plays out. Oh, and if Trump is the 2020 nominee, I'd still vote for him again over any Dem due to every-single-Dem's position on abortion. The Dems talk about separating mothers from their children at the border.....well, what about the womb?!

    barfo didn't ask for your bs company line. He asked you a question as to what do you think would be an impeachable offense? I will even add in some more

    Do approve of the stonewalling this administration is doing?

    Do you think they should turn over all documents regarding the investigation to congress?

    Do you consider this administration the most transparent admin ever as trump continues to claim? or one of the most transparent? and why?

    I believe the Dems are doing everything in their power (and beyond) to take Trump down. There's a clog in the swamp.

    I meet a lot of people with this view point. I just dont get how someone can be a single issue voter, especially when its been proven that democrat policies result in less abortions while republican policies result in more abortions.

    I'd love to see that documentation. That would be very surprising to me.

    back alley abortionists don't keep really careful records for pretty obvious reasons....if you research the history of abortion when it was shunned legally, it's a horror story for prostitutes, nuns, school girls, many, many women who were forced into the black market for their situations. Health being part of it...sometimes mental health issues....it's a complicated and sad history that can't be whitewashed and looked at as another shithole country problem. I grew up with many Irish catholic family members who probably had your views on abortion....they also had those views on divorce....does divorce come into play in your view of a viable candidate? Just asking.

    Riverman makes some good points about actual abortions. For me its things like access to birth control, health care and education, and not specific abortion laws that make the difference. I think the overall plan should be stopping the problem before they need an abortion.

    If the administration really doesn't comply with the investigation, and the dems keep twiddling their thumbs, it will be time for protests in DC. Make this shit ugly.

    I think the dems move on impeachment may have just been a rope a dope to get Trump to expose himself to more obstructionist behavior...like asking China to now investigate Biden, etc....they may not even vote on impeachment and let this kill his re-election campaign like a fly on the wall. I think it's working too. He's piling up more and more retractors with every tweet and refusal to follow the laws that separate the legislative and executive branches of govt...it could very well cause him to resign

    I'm angry that there is no response from the House to that bullshit letter from 45's counsel outside of some faint rage on twitter. They have always struggled in being aggressive when the situation calls for it. Another classic example.

    Where are the subpoenas? Where is the SGT of arms?

    I think you are giving way too much credit to the Democratic party here. They are not that cunning.

    Not that I think much of the Republican party either. I am not sure why they wanted to have a TV evil cartoon character as a president - but if they do, why not go with Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. He has some charisma, at least.

    I've yet to meet an anti abortion person who has adopted a child, you know one of the options they say a woman should look into instead of an abortion.

    Instead of telling people what they should and shouldn't do how about being part of the solution you say you believe in.

    (And no @ABM, I didn't mean this for you, you're too old to raise kids, lol)

    And why they feel like they have jurisdiction over a woman's body keeps on being baffling to me. Even more confusing is that they think our current president/veep are the ones to trust blindly to tell a woman what to do instead of an actual woman.

    My mother and father were raised in orphanages during the great depression....it was that or starve to death at the time.
